The author was a recipient of grace and mercifully given and guided by one superpower early in life, when he was 7 years old while around a camp fire pit at a youth mountain adventure trip, and is eternally grateful for having received these (non-material) gifts. You will ascertain what this superpower was and is, and who bestowed this priceless gift on the author, which permanently altered the author's life path, aspirations and goals, by reading this spellbinding story.
To learn more about this author, read and enjoy this true account of a legitimately unimportant person born in an obscure tiny town to a financially poor (but morally and ethically wealthy), family whose members all wore cloaks of humility and emerged as educated leaders from humble origins. Putting forth their maximum effort and energy each day, these family members and the author were able to positively influence, every single human they had the privilege to educate or otherwise interact with. No one is perfect. These family members were never perfect but were always striving toward this goal.
The author's astonishing, entertaining, detailed, and enlightening true account of his life perils and adventures is a novel for the ages and for all generations, cultures, and countries. The author offers survival guide tips and insights, throughout his brilliantly written account of his highly unpredictable life voyage, to readers who seek similar unfathomable exciting and mind-blowing adventures themselves, and also to all those readers who, vicariously, wish to enter a magical world via the eyes and experience of another adventurous human, without the risks, perils, and near-death episodes that often accompany great adventurists. All readers will enjoy and marvel at the stupendous thrilling account of ascents up mountain tops, descents to the ocean's floor, aerial combat maneuvering flights above the clouds throughout the world, near-death experiences that appeared, at first glance, to be fatal dagger wounds, yet by grace and mercy were non-fatal, all of which are components of the author's true life unfathomable adventures portrayed in a poignant, captivating, and earth-shaking manner by the author's storytelling prowess. The author embarked on and completed a life-long adventure encompassing millions of cumulative miles in his winding and perilous path through life. These miles were accumulated during flights in: Beechcraft T-34C Turbo Mentor single-engine, propeller-driven, military planes, Cobra, Huey, and Boeing Vertol CH46 Sea Knight helicopters, and F/A-18 (fighter-attack) "Hornet" tactical jets, flown throughout the world, over many oceans or land, and onto or off aircraft carriers during international, multi-country war games. Additional miles were logged by running in countries worldwide (and being shot at, but not hit, in one country during a run with military colleagues), driving in countries worldwide (left & right driver side of car), and during international scuba diving, and other worldwide missions / actions / flight plans, activities, professional travel, and personal travel. The author, as a child, never imagined he would travel throughout the world and experience adventures such as flying helicopters and jets, climbing mountains, scuba diving, parachute training, rock climbing, and running throughout the world, outside the confines a magnificent dream (of that child and future author) of a movie made by a Hollywood, California adventure film studio or a James Bond spy movie filmed at 007 stage in Pinewood Studios, United Kingdom. The author, at a very young age, enthusiastically and vigorously trained to become a supreme athlete and an exceptional academic student and student of life adventures. He then pursued his dream of venturing out from his tiny 1400 resident town to change the world in myriad significant positive ways that would benefit his generation and future generations alike. Miraculously, his James Bond-like aspirations and goals were all realized, and his real-life adventures then exceeded his original dreams. The secret formula to how the author's goals were accomplished are deep within the pages and "between the lines" of this book and must be discovered by the astute reader. Additional galvanizing characteristics the author strove to attain his whole life are aptly summarized by the same individual the author quoted during his Valedictorian speech to the audience and his classmates in high school, namely, Winston Churchill. Winston Churchill, at his inaugural speech as wartime leader of Britain, declared: "Blood, Toil, Sweat and Tears" and "Victory at all costs, Victory in spite of all terror, Victory however long and hard the road may be." The author believes these guiding principles served him well throughout his life. Other guiding principles and essential human characteristics and qualities that guided the author through all his adventures include: honest, moral, and ethical behavior at all times, hard work, planning and preparation, grace and mercy.
